I dare say that the eloquent music reviewers Monsieur Bevis and Monsieur Butthead would assign the short but sweet, “It Rocks!” as their summary of Master of Puppets.

In this case and I imagine that this is a rare instance, it is rather difficult to add any worthwhile extra comments.

Master of Puppets falls firmly between Metallica’s hardcore roots and this more recent phase of turning out more melodious and MTV friendly tunes. As a result of this, on the album you will find tracks that start off as the mean to go on – with violent thumping of the guitar. You will also find that tracks like “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” have a distinct mix of flavours. It has to be said that, in this reviewer’s opinion that “Sanitarium” is the very best track on the album.

If you only have Metallica’s more recent music and you are thinking of expanding your collection into the back catalogue (in pre Metallica Black/Metallica) they have available then you really should consider Master of Puppets as being the first one you buy. You might be in for something of a shock.
